What milk do you use for Lo breakfast

This sounds really silly but do you use normal cows milk when making your lo’s breakfast up or their formula/express milk?
I only ask because my daughter has a cows milk allergy. So far this baby seems to be ok but I’ve been cautious. He’s had food with milk in (cottage pie etc) but I’ve been making his breakfast with Oat or almond milk.
Yesterday I used cows milk. As an experiment really because we see a gastro paediatrician next week to discuss this. And he’s had diarrhoea ever since! Now normally he’s very very constipated so this is unusual for him.

I’m just wondering what milk every else uses and maybe it’s me overreacting or maybe I shouldn’t have given it to him?!

We use her formula but only because me and my oh detest full fat milk and even with the little bottles she doesn’t use enough so most of it ends up in the bin. As soon as she is using enough to make it worth buying her own bottle then we’ll make the switch x

The torrent of words your baby has been hearing since birth is starting to work its magic, although his understanding of words far outpaces his ability to use them. He thinks he's saying something, so respond as if he really is! Read More

Your baby's personality is really emerging now. She may be very social, granting broad smiles to everyone she meets, or a little more shy, hiding her face when well-meaning strangers try to engage her. Read More
